On Time by John Milton
While I have difficulty understanding parts of this poem, I find it interesting how Milton gives time human qualities. This personification of something as intangible as time lends a unique type of imagery to the poem. I also like how he mixes in themes of death and the afterlife with time, as though he is wondering if time takes on a whole new meaning to us in death.
I don't like this author's writing style. It is an interesting concept, though. Time is difficult to write about but he does an okay job.
ReplyDeleteI agree about his writing style. However, he lived from 1608-1674, so the difference between is style and modern style is understandable.
